    After Zhu Changlin and others said goodbye, Xiao Yungui and Zeng Shuiyuan were the only two people left in the hall. Looking at Zeng Shuiyuan's surprised expression, Xiao Yungui walked back and forth for a few steps with his hands behind his hands, and said lightly: "These people killed them."  It's better to use them. In the past, when we killed all the big households and robbed them, we were actually killing the goose to lay eggs. Who would dare to work with us in peace after killing them? Brother Zeng, you have to understand that our rebellion is ultimately to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and let the poor in the world live.  In the good days, before the Qing Dynasty is overthrown and the world is conquered, all the people we can use can be used. If we don't use these people, they will be used by the Qing demons. If this continues, the road we take will become narrower and narrower.  "

    Zeng Shuiyuan was shocked, recalling that since the Jintian uprising, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has always adopted a rogue-like fighting method. After conquering a territory, they would seize official warehouses, rob big households, and kill bannermen to support the war with war and win over more people.  People and horses, up to tens of thousands of elite soldiers now, in Zeng Shuiyuan's view, killing the rich and giving to the poor is a natural thing. This is what the army wants to do, but now hearing Xiao Yungui say this, he can't help but feel a little confused.

    Seeing Zeng Shuiyuan's solemn expression, Xiao Yungui knew that he was starting to waver, so he secretly laughed in his heart, and struck while the iron was hot, directly destroying his three views. He coughed and continued: "In the long run, our kingdom of heaven is for the world to be unified and shared.  Taiping, I absolutely agree with this dream, but it is extremely difficult to realize it. Without careful planning, will Taiping continue to fight north like this? Where will it end? After leaving Guangxi, everyone has  I have no idea, are we just going to be bandits like this?"

    Zeng Shuiyuan suddenly felt that Xiao Yungui's words hit home with him and most of the Taiping Army. They had fought from Guangxi to Hunan, where would they go?  Indeed, no one knew that after the Battle of Changsha in history, the leaders of the Taiping Army began to discuss the matter. In the end, it was Yang Xiuqing who proposed the strategy of focusing on Jinling. Only then did the Changmaos have a fierce fighting spirit, all the way from Yuezhou  Pushing eastward, they marched nearly a thousand miles in twenty-seven days and captured Nanjing. It must be said that it was indeed a miracle in military history.  But now Zeng Shuiyuan really can't see any strategy focusing on Jinling.

    Xiao Yungui said calmly: "Now that we have captured Changsha, this is the first provincial city captured by our Kingdom of Heaven. It should be managed well, so we cannot kill people randomly, divide and win over wealthy businessmen, and let some people be used by me.  The best policy. As long as we can gain a firm foothold in Hunan, we can do it with ease whether we go north to Hubei, west to Yunnan-Guizhou, east to Jiangxi, or south to our hometown of Guangxi. What's more, the Chenzhou brigade has not yet arrived. There are some things that we cannot overstep, and we still have to do it.  Should we wait for the King of Heaven and King of East to decide, otherwise we will act recklessly and ruin the plans of King of Heaven and King of East, which will not be good. Brother Zeng, you are a smart man and you should understand."

    Zeng Shuiyuan was confused by Xiao Yungui's words. He only felt that what the King of the West said was indeed reasonable. He bowed and said: "What His Highness the King of the West said is true. I understand."

    Xiao Yungui nodded with satisfaction, feeling happy in his heart. Zeng Shuiyuan said again: "There are still tens of thousands of bannermen in the city. Can these people be killed?"

    Xiao Yungui hesitated in his heart. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom originally raised its troops under the slogan of expelling the Hu Nu. He had not killed the wealthy businessmen. It would be unjustifiable if he did not kill even the Hu people. But most of the bannermen Zeng Shuiyuan mentioned were  There were tens of thousands of old, weak, women and children. He couldn't help but hesitate in his heart when he was asked to order the massacre.

    At this time, the swordsman outside the hall reported: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, Tong Qiang Sheng, who went out to inquire about news, is back."

    Xiao Yungui said hurriedly: "Let him in quickly." He really couldn't make up his mind to massacre so many people, so he delayed as long as he could. Tong Qiangsheng's arrival just relieved him.

    I saw Tong Qiangsheng walking into the hall sweating profusely. He seemed to have rushed back. Before Xiao Yungui could ask, Tong Qiangsheng clasped his fists and said: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, Qingyao Admiral Bao Qibao led three thousand defeated troops to retreat from Xiangyin."  , now together with Qingyao Hubei Admiral Shuangfu's three thousand reinforcements, they are rushing to the north of Changsha City. There are also traces of Qingyao enemies in the south. About a thousand Qingyao are stationed in Xiangtan. After asking many people, they know that this Qingyao is under siege.  The Qingyao branch of the Chenzhou Brigade is led by Qingyao Chuxiong Association Deputy General Deng Shaoliang."

    Zeng Shuiyuan let out a loud laugh and said angrily: "It's Deng Shaoliang again, this thief. This Qingyao has followed Xiang Yaotou and my holy soldiers in Guangxi for more than a year and fought fiercely. How many of our brothers' blood is on his hands!"

    Xiao Yungui touched his nose and muttered: "Where are the east and west sides?"

    Tong Qiangsheng gasped a few times and continued: "There are also enemy traces in the west. Our brothers in the west intercepted and killed several Qingyao messengers and found someone to read the contents of the letter. It was written by Qingyao Phoenix Hall colleagues Jia Hengjin and Yongsui Xie.  Lieutenant General Qu Tenglong's reply to Bao Yaotou, more than 2,000 Qing Yaos are coming to Changsha, Qing Yao's letter is here."

    Xiao Yungui took Tong Qiangsheng¡¯s letter and opened it to read it. Zeng Shuiyuan came over to look at it together. The letter was indeed as Tong Qiangsheng said.??A clear demon is coming.

    After reading the letter, Xiao Yungui calmed down and asked, "Where is the east side?"

    Tong Qiangsheng replied: "There are Qingyaos in the southeast. Wang Jialin, the commander-in-chief of Hebei Town, brought troops from Anren to You County. He has more than 1,500 Qingyaos under his command, and he has joined forces with more than 1,000 Qingyao from Jiujiang Camp in Jiangxi.  At one point, we are almost at Liling. This clear demon is taking the same path as we were waiting for the army to come. In order to find out the news about this clear demon, we even killed a few brothers."

    Xiao Yungui turned around and came to the desk, opened the sheepskin map, picked up the brush and made rough marks on the map, and then fell into deep thought.  Only then did Zeng Shuiyuan look at Xiao Yungui in surprise. When could His Highness the King of the West be able to read letters with so many words and write them? He didn't know the fonts yet.  Of course Zeng Shuiyuan didn't recognize it, because Xiao Yungui wrote in simplified Chinese characters, but it was certain that Xiao Yungui wrote in Chinese characters, but the writing was very ugly.

    The Qing Yao had a complete post station to deliver the news. Judging from the date of this letter, it was sent on the day of the fall of Changsha. The Qing army post station in the west had not yet received the news of the fall of Changsha, so the messenger came directly to Changsha, but was killed by Tong.  The victorious man catches him red-handed.  But it can be seen from this that before Changsha fell, Luo Bingzhang and Bao Qibao's request for help had been sent out. The Qing army was coming to Changsha from all directions, and the situation would only get worse.

    Xiao Yungui frowned and asked, "Is there any news from Chenzhou Brigade?"

    Zeng Shuiyuan was still wondering why Xiao Yungui suddenly knew so many words. Xiao Yungui asked again before saying: "In the morning, news came from Chenzhou that the Queen of the West was leading the women's camp and the children's camp with more than a thousand people and horses on the way.  On the way to Changsha, after hearing the news about Brother Tong, I am afraid that they will encounter Qingyao on the way."

    Xiao Yungui was stunned for a moment, then got angry and cursed: "Damn it, this is a war, why are a group of women bringing their children here to join in the fun?! Don't you think Changsha is chaotic enough?! Whose idea was this?!  Do you still want me to divide my troops to rescue them?! Damn it, do I have so many troops?!"
